February Dates

Awards – Due to the Girl Scout Shop revamping it’s website they will not guarantee a delivery date for the badges I’ve ordered, and also a few of the badges are on back order, so the Awards Ceremony will have to be postponed until we get the badges in. 

Feb 11th – Valentine’s Party at my shop, I’m bringing drinks and cupcakes, if anyone else wants to bring something that’s fine, but you don’t have to. 5:45 -6:45

Feb 18th – Regular meeting at the WC. 

Feb 23rd – Thinking Day 12pm – 2pm (meeting place TBA) We’ll have our Thinking Day festivities. Each girl should choose a country and learn something about it to share with the group and also bring a traditional food from the country she chooses to share. (A snack or desert, something simple) She can dress like they do in that country or bring a poster with some fun facts about it. It can be as in depth as she chooses to go with it. Girls will earn a patch for participation. 

Feb 25th – Regular Meeting at WC or Awards if badges are in.

Florence Little Theater

Trip this Saturday to the Florence Little Theater. Meet at 9:30 in The WC parking lot, returning at approximately 2:30. Bring $5 for lunch. Please let your girl use the bathroom before you drop her off. 

I apologize for the short notice but we'd like for the girls who are available this weekend to get a chance to go. We will take in a play of 3 Billy Goats Gruff, get a tour of the theater, and get to ask questions of some of the people who work there. The troop is paying the fee for the girls, if any parents go I think the price is $3 but someone is calling me back to confirm this. We'll have lunch afterwards at CiCi's Pizza. 

Depending on the number of girls who are going we may need a couple of moms to volunteer to drive so we need a headcount of everyone who is going, and if you are willing to drive by Friday so that we can make sure everyone has riding space.

Award's Ceremony Coming Up!

At the last meeting we finished up our Philanthropist badge. If she didn't bring her poster she can bring it to the next meeting. If she missed both of the last meetings the requirements to complete the badge are:
1. Learn What Every Person Needs (want/need poster) 2. Investigate How to Help People Who Are Hungry 3. Find Out How to Help People Who Need Clothing 4. Know How to Help in Times of Emergency 5. Think--and Act!--Like a Philanthropist (We are completing this as a group by donating our cookie proceeds to the Animal Shelter)

There is still time to work on extra badges, the girls decided they wanted to have a simple Awards Ceremony combined with a Valentine's Day party so it won't be until mid February. I'll need all make up or extra badge work turned in by February 4th.

Mrs. Donna will post what you need to do if you missed any of the meetings where we worked on the First Aid Badge.

Also if your girl has made an academic achievement please let us know so that we can recognize her for that. I wrote down what the girls in 3rd grade at Latta Elementary received during the Awards Ceremony last week but otherwise please let me know.
